Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter on Sunday is the latest to chime in on a timeline for Apple’s Home Hub. According to the newsletter, the new device, still expected in 2025, will be “the first step toward a bigger role in the smart home” and Apple’s “most significant release of the year.”
Previous reports from long-time Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo have suggested the home hub will enter mass production later this year.
